Method

Peel, core, and dice the apples. Peel and dice the shallots. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the apples, shallots, and thyme; saute for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender. Add the vinegar, stir in the syrup, and season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add some water.
